Which of those is unsupported
by material evidence but exists by virtue of practice based on fervent , coerced
or simply uncritical belief, and is thus subject to failure at any moment when
the belief is shaken to its roots by experienced reality? All of them.

Of course farmers and flea
markets are real, as are the corporate malls where millions enter with credit desire
and leave in debt frustration. But the global financial market whose minority
controllers run the planet is a vast electronic church sustained by a
congregation of mentally and physically brutalized parishioners. A political clergy
of rabbis, priests and ministers operate its banking cathedrals as an international
casino whose minority profits accrue on the loss of billions of people forced
to gamble their existence on its success, and their failure.

The ruling minority relies
on its giant computers, mathematicians and symbol manipulators to transform
global wealth into weapons of war for humanity's forced use on itself, and
luxury goods for lives of wretched excess for them and their servants. All this
is supported by the majority whose struggles for survival increase in debt, pain,
and endless war.

Financial dictatorship is
maintained by military power capable of slaughtering thousands of people instantly
and destroying governments through domination of minds as well as bodies. It is
more profitable to manipulate worshippers through the consciousness control of political
media rather than by brute force. Propaganda is especially useful at programming
patriotism during wars, and civic duty during elections. Voting rituals have servant
clergy driven into the collective mind as representing an abstraction called
"the people" rather than the financial elites who run the temples, banks and the election business.

Philosophers who once
claimed that god was dead encountered little resistance since no material
evidence could oppose an immaterial charge. But the time for secular and
spiritual communities to unite and proclaim that the financial market-god is dead
may be at hand, before fanatic faith in this deity of the dollar obliterates us
all.

What many religious people
site as indications of the downfall of humanity sometimes offer a clearer view
of reality than that of secular types
skeptical of mythological belief, while they help perpetuate the most fantastic
fable:

A political economic dementia
that claims minority rule of the planet by a tiny caste of master-race-self-chosen
people is creating the best life imaginable for their subject billions, while evidence
increases that the material world can no longer support this fanaticism without
ultimate destruction of much that passes for civilized reality.

Social critics who hold
the spiritual in disdain can make seemingly more credible scientific arguments
to indicate that radical change is needed in the political economic foundation
of society in order for the race to succeed. Whether one side or the other is
right is a dualistic argument and part of the problem. Both are correct to argue that we can't
go on as we have or we will face possible failure for humanity itself and not
just the usual segments always sacrificed to the unjust dogma that benefits
some at the cost of all.

While severe problems increase,
protectors of the status quo take a more crazed and sadistic tone, screeching
about peace and democracy while they murder the first and make the second
impossible. Public programs are savaged by policies which lavish money on those
who have great wealth, steal money from those who create all wealth, and deny
money to those who have no wealth. The increased suffering inflicted on western
populations manipulated into accepting the irrational idea that minority
created financial collapse is the fault of majority need for human service is countered
by more savage brutality inflicted on foreigners, especially in the middle
east.

The plan to break up Arab nations
that do not obey the west, criticize Israel or relate to Iran as an ally, has
taken a more brutal turn. Viciously punishing any disobedience to the dogma of the
great white church of the west, first Libya and now Syria - with Iran still
pending - have been subjected to open warfare and the more covert murder of
embargoes and infiltration by illegitimate outsiders who pervert insider's
legitimate struggles for change.

Libya has been shattered
and the same fate is sought for Syria, but the shaman shysters of global
finance capital have learned no lessons from their near destruction of Iraq.
That nation is now an ally of Iran, strengthening the supposed center of an "axis
of evil". The real evil, known to
be so by the overwhelming majority of global people. is the dualist deity of
Israel and the USA. An entity calling itself the international community is
actually a relative handful of toadies and one massive military power, insisting
that the world is its possession to be regulated by a perversion of language,
thought and practice that it calls democracy.
